Nv. IL seems to us that its action is just as
wise as was the individuals who sought to
find out why it was that his neighbor got
along better than himself. On behalf of the
province of New Brunswick the editor of the
st. John Telegraph inquired of the State Of
Maine how it was that we got along better
than his country, and when he got his infor-
nation he published it for the benefit of his
people. Not very heinous offence; on the
contrary a very praiseworthy act and one
that his people ought to thank him for.
Yet for this act the Telegraph is finding
itself severely arraigned by the Tory con-
temporaries all over the Maritime Provinces.
The Halifax Herald eharacterizes its per-
Torrance as 'humiliating'' and silly"
ANY man." it declares, with eyes in his
head, who would attempt to prove that
Maine is more prosperous than New Bruins
wick, cannot certainly expect very high
character for wisdom" The Herald seems
to think that for New Brunswicker to at
tempt TO better his condition or that of his
province is rank treason. What he should
do is to shut his eyes to the facts, shout at
the top of his voice that his country is the
most prosperous on the face of the globe and
that Sir John Macdonald is the greatest
statesman that the century has produced.

Russia and Germany.

The instructions issued to the st. Peters
burg editors to adopt moderate tone
towards Germany serves to offset the start
ling reports that Russia is massing troops on
the German and Austrian frontiers. As a
matter of fact Bismarck generally succeeds
In making it for the interest Of Russia to
keep pretty civil. For years the Dreikdiser-
bund, or triple alliance of Russia, Germany
and Austria kept the northern bear in good
.hnmor; and now that Russians can bride
their dislike of Germany no longer and the
Germans are venting their hatred Of Russia,
Bismarck straightway drops Russia entirely
and YIELDS Germany, Austria and Italy by an
offensive and defensive alliance which is
sufficiently formidable to overawe either
Russia or France, should they aspire to dis
turb the security of Europe. While the
alliance is primarily defensive, it is said to
be confined to purely defensive purposes by
no means. By the most detailed and specific
engagements it provides for any contingency
in which the peace Of Europe might be VIC
lated by the aggressions Of one or more of the
powers not parties to the alliance. 1t defines
what acts the allied powers shall consider
cGsus belk, provides for combined military
and naval action in case Of hostilities, and
even specifies the results TO be achieved by
the combined action Of the allies with view
to securing desirable peace after victori-
GUS war Russia is left in the cold, with no
alternative but to keep still or be whipped.

The New York Court of Appeals has
granted Sharp new trial The ground on
which the court has overthrown the proceed
ings of the court below is understood to be
that the evidence of Sharp before the Senate
committee was improperly admitted at his
trial. The court was divided. The decision
may be sound as matter of law, neverthe-
less it is to be regretted. OF Sharp's guilt
there is no doubt, and if he escapes the effect
produced will be very bad, inasmuch as it
will stimulate the already too prevalent no.
ton that the rich and powerful cannot be
punished for the crime of bribery. II Sharp
-is-trfed again, and if he lives be probably
will be, Col. Fellows, the newly elected dis
trict attorney of New York will conduct the
prosecution. The impression was prevalent
during the recent campaign in New York
that Fellows's election would in some way
be profitable to the ''boodlers." The trial of
Sharp will afford an excellent opportunity
for Col Fellows to show that this impression
was unfounded.

The weight of evidence seems to be that
though Atlanta has had prohibition for two
years nobody has had to go thirsty mean
while. A hole in the law practically nulli-
fed it. But even if the law had been all it
was supposed to be it is doubtful if the
Neatly half the people of the place were
openly opposed to prohibition and of course
would do nothing to assist its enforcement
even if they did not throw obstacles in the
way Public sentiment must be much more
nearly unanimous than this before prohibit
tion can be effectually enforced. Our expe-
rience here in Maine has demonstrated that.

THE L4BORER rs WORTHY
OF HIS HIRE.

Some dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed at the action of the county
commissioners in awarding the FREE
PRESS the sum of $50 per quarter for
services rendered. The pressure of ad-
vertisments upon our columns prevents
at present full detail of the circum-
stances uuder which this award was
made, but we take pleasure in referring
all who are interested in the matter to
the written statement fled by the editor
of this paper with the clerk of the board
upon which statement the action of the
commissioners was based. The services
performed by this paper for the award
includes the publishing the proceedings
Of the board, together with the reports
of the treasurer and auditor, all the
advertising of the several school
districts. the regular mailing of the pa
per to the leading libraries of the Uni-
ted States, the sending of sample copies
to all applicants and sundry other items
which with all o,ir public spirit, we can
not afford to do for nothing. A de-
tailed description of the services we
perform for the award are included in
the statement referred to, which can be
seen by anyone at the auditors office,
and reading of which will demonstrate
that the county is getting full value for
its outlay. We are glad that the talk
about the matter enables us to make
this public statement of the facts in the
case-facts which the public have
right to know.

ticular section, but to the entire state.
Every city, town and hamlet seems to
be caught by the fire of prosperity that
has spread throughout its borders.
Thousands of the eastern capitalists
have invested in Kansas this year and
many of the best people from other
states have found homes among us.
There is hardly pny of Kansas but what
will justify the investment of capital;
Our fine climate, productive soil and
our intelligent and temperate people
will assist in finishing and Developing
our wonderful resources. Here we
have all the advantages of other points
and besides we have an abundance OF
natural gas'' now developed and used
for fuel and light purposes. The city OF
Paoli, Miami county, is lighted by gas
also our insane asylum, and the city OF
Oswatimie. The latter resources attract
the attention of the capitalists and man

else. Kansas can vie with Miami, the
king of counties, in beauty of landscape
